  • The Diffuse Radiation Field at High Galactic Latitudes 
    Akshaya, M. S; Murthy, J; Ravichandran, S; Henry, R. C; Overduin, J (IOP Publishing, 2018-08-10)
    We have used GALEX observations of the north and south Galactic poles to study the diffuse ultraviolet background at locations where the Galactic light is expected to be at a minimum. We find offsets of 230–290 photon units ...
  • Diffuse radiation from the Aquila Rift 
    Jyothy, S. N; Murthy, J; Karuppath, N; Sujatha, N. V (Oxford University Press on behalf of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2015-12-01)
    We present an analysis of the diffuse ultraviolet (UV) background in a low latitude region near the Aquila Rift based on observations made by the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX). The UV background is at a level of about ...
  • Dust Properties in the Far-Ultraviolet in Ophiuchus 
    Sujatha, N. V; Shalima, P; Murthy, J; Henry, R. C (The American Astronomical Society, 2005-11)
    We have derived the albedo (a) and phase function asymmetry factor (g) of interstellar dust grains at 1100 Å using archival Voyager observations of diffuse radiation in Ophiuchus. We have found that the grains are highly ...
  • Dust scattered radiation in the galactic poles 
    Murthy, J; Henry, R. C; Overduin, James (Indian Academy of Sciences, 2023-12)
    We have modeled the diffuse background at the Galactic Poles in the far-ultraviolet (FUV: 1536 Å) and the near-ultraviolet (NUV: 2316 Å). The background is well-fit using a single-scattering dustmodel with an offset ...
  • Dust scattering from the taurus molecular cloud 
    Sathya Narayan; Murthy, J; Narayanankutty, K (Oxford University Press on behalf of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2017-04)
    We present an analysis of the diffuse ultraviolet emission near the Taurus Molecular Cloud based on observations made by the Galaxy Evolution Explorer. We used a Monte Carlo dust scattering model to show that about half ...
  • Far-ultraviolet Diffuse Emission from the Large Magellanic Cloud 
    Pradhan, A. C; Pathak, A; Murthy, J (IOP Publishing, 2010-08)
    We present the first observations of diffuse radiation in the far-ultraviolet (FUV; 1000-1150 Å) from the Large Magellanic Cloud based on observations made with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer. The fraction of ...
  • GALEX observations of diffuse UV radiation at high spatial resolution from the Sandage Nebulosity 
    Sujatha, N. V; Murthy, J; Karnataki, A; Henry, R. C; Bianchi, L (The American Astronomical Society, 2009-02)
    We have observed a region of nebulosity first identified as starlight scattered by interstellar dust by Sandage using the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) ultraviolet imaging telescope. Apart from airglow and zodiacal ...
  • Mapping the Diffuse Ultraviolet Sky with the Galaxy Evolution Explorer 
    Murthy, J; Henry, R. C; Sujatha, N. V (IOP Publishing, 2010-12)
    We present a map of the diffuse ultraviolet cosmic background in two wavelength bands (FUV: 1530 Å and NUV: 2310 Å) over almost 75% of the sky using archival data from the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) mission. Most ...
  • Modelling dust scattering in our galaxy 
    Murthy, J (Oxford University Press on behalf of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2016-06)
    I have used Monte Carlo models with multiple scattering to predict the dust scattered light from our Galaxy and have compared the predictions with data in two ultraviolet bands from the Galaxy Evolution Explorer spacecraft. ...
  • Modelling of dust scattering toward the Coalsack 
    Shalima, P; Murthy, J (Royal Astronomical Society, 2004-08)
    Murthy, Henry & Holberg discovered intense far-ultraviolet (FUV) (λλ912-1600) emission from the direction of the Coalsack molecular cloud 10 years ago. We have used their results in conjunction with a Monte Carlo model for ...
  • Modelling the diffuse ultraviolet radiation observed by Dynamics Explorer 1 
    Shalima, P; Murthy, J; Fix, J. D (Wiley Blackwell, 2010-10)
    The Dynamics Explorer spacecraft, DE-1, has undertaken two sky surveys in the far-ultraviolet regime, covering a wide variety of Galactic latitudes. We have used a single scattering dust model to probe into the optical ...
  • Observations of Far-ultraviolet Diffuse Emission from the Small Magellanic Cloud 
    Pradhan, A. C; Murthy, J; Pathak, A (IOP Publishing, 2011-12-10)
    We report the first observations of far-ultraviolet (FUV: 1000-1150 Å) diffuse radiation from the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) using observations from the Far-Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer. The strength of FUV diffuse ...
  • Observations of the Diffuse Far-Ultraviolet Background with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer 
    Murthy, J; Sahnow, D. J (The American Astronomical Society, 2004-11)
    We have used observations taken under the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) S405/505 channel realignment program to explore the diffuse far-ultraviolet (FUV; 1000-1200 Å) radiation field. Of the 71 independent ...
  • Planetary nebulae with UVIT: Far ultra-violet halo around the Bow Tie nebula (NGC 40) 
    Kameswara Rao, N; Sutaria, F. K; Murthy, J; Sriram, K; Mohan, Rekhesh; Ray, A (EDP Sciences, 2018-01)
    Context. NGC 40 is a planetary nebula with diffuse X-ray emission, suggesting an interaction of the high-speed wind from WC8 cen- tral star (CS) with the nebula. It shows strong C IV 1550 Å emission that cannot be ...
  • Probing the Role of Carbon in Ultraviolet Extinction along Galactic Sight Lines 
    Parvathi, V. S; Sofia, U. J; Murthy, J; Babu, B. R. S (IOP Publishing, 2012-11-20)
